Eli Nelson's farm is on the verge of ruin, and the last thing he needs is a dead cow. But when an animal expert from the local university investigates, she makes a horrifying discovery: whatever killed this cow has a horrible disease.

Is it a bear? A wolf? Locals believe it's the Beast of Bray Road, a legendary monster that roams this quiet Illinois county-a county notorious for its haunted past, one filled with accusations of witchcraft and Satanism.

Eli Nelson and Dr. Mackenzie Wright must find answers before the killer's disease progresses...and before one of the worst storms in Illinois history reaches them.
